Public benefits
What benefit flows from this purpose? The direct benefits that flow from this purpose include increased understanding of the underlying causes of poverty, inequality and injustice in the global North and South. We provide learners with skills, values, knowledge and understanding that enhance global learning and awareness of our society’s
interdependence with other countries and regions. We also nurture global citizenship and enable learners to play a more active role in addressing the causes of poverty and inequality at local and global levels. Can you demonstrate this? The benefits are evidenced in the regular consultations we carry out with learners who access our services. For example, since May 2015, 230 teachers in Northern Ireland have completed a Global Learning Programme delivered by the Centre for Global Education to embed global learning in primary and post-primary schools. A self-evaluation tool completed by the teachers suggests that the training has provided new skills and resources that have strengthened their confidence in delivering global learning in the classroom. The training is being independently evaluated by a research team at Ulster University. Is any harm or possibility of harm outweighed by the benefit? There are no potentially harmful side effects resulting from the delivery of our training and education services. We ensure that all of our training venues are covered by appropriate insurance and health and safety procedures. Who is the benefit for? The benefit of our global education activities are learners in the formal and informal education sectors including: teachers, student teachers, community educators, black and minority ethnic groups, human rights organiations and development non-governmental organisations. Our activities are directed at educators working in these organisations so that they can learn new skills in global education. Is there any private benefit? The only private benefit flowing from this purpose is the training and learning experience an individual or organisation may accrue while delivering training on our behalf. For example, trainers working on behalf of the Centre for Global Education may enrich their training skills but they themselves are not our intended beneficiaries. The intended beneficiaries are teachers and schools. A natural and incidental outcome from training delivery is that trainers also benefit by enhancing their training skills. This is a private benefit to these trainers but not the intended outcome of the activities which are to enhance global learning in the classroom. What benefit flows from this purpose? The direct benefits that flow from this purpose include the provision of capacity-building publications, events, seminars and trainings to individuals and organisations in the development sector that enhance their performance. We also strengthen the practice of development education in the tertiary education sector with the production of publications and provision of an onsite library for research purposes. The library is available to all educators and provides a wider range of teaching resources, books and visual aids on loan to the public. The direct benefits that flow from this purpose include the provision of education and psycho-social support to children aged 7-12 in the Gaza Strip, Palestine. These services are offered to children suffering from acute forms of stress as a result of extreme poverty and conflict. The Centre for Global education provides community-based education services to children when they are not at school (children in Gaza attend school for half-a-day because of a lack of school buildings) and this supplementary education supports delivery of key areas of the schools’ curriculum. Other benefits include psycho-social support in the form of expressional activities and one-to-one psychotherapy for children experiencing distress, fear and tension as a result of ongoing conflict in the region.
